Re: [Nagios-users] event handlers for Windows systems?

[Furnish, T. G <TGF...@he...>]

I'd think that if you can run NRPE on the remote system or can configure
the snmp service on the remote system to allow you to execute the code
you want to run on the remote system, then you are set.

An event handler is code that runs on the same host as the nagios
daemon, so nagios doesn't execute "remote event handlers" -- making the
connection to the remote host (whether windows or unix or something
else) is up to you.  NRPE runs on the remote host and waits for
connections with instructions.  Other approaches that come to mind
(besides snmp, already mentioned):

	- cygwin + sshd on the remote server
	- rcmd + rshd on the remote server (painful and difficult to
secure)
	- a web cgi script (painful)
